Emerita Resources Corp.'s (EMO:TSX.V; EMOTF:OTCQB; LLJA:FSE) new drill data from El Cura, one of three deposits at its Iberian Belt West (IBW) project, extend mineralization and show high grades, especially of gold and silver, noted a Canaccord Genuity report.

Emerita Resources Corp. (EMO:TSX.V; EMOTF:OTCQB; LLJA:FSE) released more promising drill results from the El Cura deposit at its flagship Iberian Belt West (IBW) project in Spain, reported Canaccord Genuity Analyst Dalton Baretto in a November 14 research note.

"We reiterate our Speculative Buy rating on Emerita as well as our CA$2.50 per share target price on the company," Baretto wrote.

92% Potential Upside

At the time of Baretto's report, the Canadian explorer was trading at about CA$1.30/share, the analyst noted. From this price, the return to target is 92%.

The company has 289.5 million shares outstanding. Its market cap is CA$376.3 million. Its 52-week range is CA$0.56–2.00/share.

Review of the Results

Baretto presented Emerita's newly announced drill results and highlighted their grades. The data are for five holes (ECO72, ECO76, ECO78, ECO79, and ECO82) drilled at El Cura, one of three deposits comprising the explorer's IBW project. El Cura, rich in copper, sits between La Romanera to the west and La Infanta to the east, both zinc and lead-rich.

Of the quintet of reported holes, ECO72 was the highlight, having returned 9.6 meters (9.6m) of 2.7% copper, 0.4% lead, 0.5% zinc, 1.85 grams per ton (1.85 g/t) gold, and 27.08 g/t silver. ECO72 was one of three stepout holes, along with EC078 and EC082, aimed at extending the deposit downplunge to the west.

"El Cura continues to prove out downplunge to the west, and we anticipate further extensions in this direction," Baretto wrote.

The two others, ECO76 and ECO79, were shallow delineation holes placed in El Cura's central portion, noted the analyst. ECO76 demonstrated 1.2m of 0.5% copper, 0.9% lead, 0.5% zinc, 1.2 g/t gold, and 38 g/t silver. ECO79 showed 6.9m of 1.4% copper, 0.9% lead, 2.4% zinc, 1.32 g/t gold, and 48.22 g/t silver.

"We note high-grade intercepts both in the stepout drilling as well as in the shallow delineation drilling," Baretto wrote. "We note the elevated precious metal grades in all the intercepts, which appear to be directly correlated to the copper grade."

True widths were estimated at 90–95% of reported widths, Baretto wrote.

A sixth hole, ECO74, was geotechnical, not an exploration or delineation hole, and did not return a significant assay. 

The analyst pointed out that Emerita could revise its mine plan to mine El Cura before La Romanera and, by doing so, reduce the amount of required initial development capex.

Imminent Key Event

Baretto again highlighted that a final court decision regarding the Aznalcollar project tender dispute is expected to be announced soon, and the outcome "could be a major catalyst for EMO shares."

Disclosures for Canaccord Genuity, Emerita Resources Corp., November 14, 2025

Analyst Certification Each authoring analyst of Canaccord Genuity whose name appears on the front page of this research hereby certifies that (i) the recommendations and opinions expressed in this research accurately reflect the authoring analyst’s personal, independent and objective views about any and all of the designated investments or relevant issuers discussed herein that are within such authoring analyst’s coverage universe and (ii) no part of the authoring analyst’s compensation was, is, or will be, directly or indirectly, related to the specific recommendations or views expressed by the authoring analyst in the research, and (iii) to the best of the authoring analyst’s knowledge, she/he is not in receipt of material non-public information about the issuer. Analysts employed outside the US are not registered as research analysts with FINRA. These analysts may not be associated persons of Canaccord Genuity LLC and therefore may not be subject to the FINRA Rule 2241 and NYSE Rule 472 restrictions on communications with a subject company, public appearances and trading securities held by a research analyst account. Sector Coverage Individuals identified as “Sector Coverage” cover a subject company’s industry in the identified jurisdiction, but are not authoring analysts of the report. Investment Recommendation Date and time of first dissemination: November 14, 2025, 11:02 ET Date and time of production: November 14, 2025, 11:02 ET Target Price / Valuation Methodology: Emerita Resources Corp. - EMO Our target price is based on 0.75x our fully risked NAV, measured as at October 1, 2026. Risks to achieving Target Price / Valuation: Emerita Resources Corp. - EMO Key risks to our thesis and valuation include: • Project development risk - Like all development projects, IBW is subject to several risks as the project progresses towards first production. These include engineering, permitting and construction risks, as well as risks to current capital and operating cost estimates. We note in particular the reliance on the unproven CLEVR technology to achieve the recovery results assumed in our estimates. • Financing risk - EMO currently has no revenue and relies on external sources of funding to move the project forward. We make no assurance that funding options will be available on the terms we currently assume. • Aznalcóllar legal case - Even carried at just 30% of what we estimate its value to be, the Aznalcóllar project represents 39% of our NAV. Should EMO not prevail in its legal pursuit, our valuation could be meaningfully impacted. • Commodity price risk - Our estimates and valuation for EMO are sensitive to the price of zinc, copper and gold. Figure 14 in the initiation of coverage report presents the change in our NAV estimates for a change in the price of each commodity.

For further information about the proprietary model(s) associated with the covered issuer(s) in this research report, clients should contact their local sales representative. Short-Term Trade Ideas Research Analysts may, from time to time, discuss “short-term trade ideas” in research reports. A short-term trade idea offers a near-term view on how a security may trade, based on market and trading events or catalysts, and the resulting trading opportunity that may be available. Any such trading strategies are distinct from and do not affect the analysts' fundamental equity rating for such stocks. A short-term trade idea may differ from the price targets and recommendations in our published research reports that reflect the research analyst's views of the longer-term (i.e. one-year or greater) prospects of the subject company, as a result of the differing time horizons, methodologies and/or other factors. It is possible, for example, that a subject company's common equity that is considered a long-term ‘Hold' or 'Sell' might present a short-term buying opportunity as a result of temporary selling pressure in the market or for other reasons described in the research report; conversely, a subject company's stock rated a long-term 'Buy' or “Speculative Buy’ could be considered susceptible to a downward price correction, or other factors may exist that lead the research analyst to suggest a sale over the short-term. Short-term trade ideas are not ratings, nor are they part of any ratings system, and the firm does not intend, and does not undertake any obligation, to maintain or update short-term trade ideas. Short-term trade ideas are not suitable for all investors and are not tailored to individual investor circumstances and objectives, and investors should make their own independent decisions regarding any securities or strategies discussed herein.
